It’s been nine long years but finally, the Gilmore Girls are nearly back on our TV screens.

Following the life and loves of a young mother, her teenage daughter and the small town they settle down in, Stars Hollow, the show was a cult hit, full of witty pop culture references, too much caffeine, and incredibly fast-paced dialogue.

It was a show about low stakes drama – and in a recent interview with Metro.co.uk, star Lauren Graham admitted that the show ‘didn’t fit back then’ and it still doesn’t fit on TV now.

But thank God it doesn’t because that’s part of the reason it’s now back – and we have all the information you need about the return of the show…

When is it back?

7.01am.

November 25, 2016.

Book the day off work, cuddle up with a cup of coffee and a blanket, and settle in with the girls.

When is it set?

We’re catching up with the Gilmores’ nine years later and in that time a lot has changed.

The formidable Edward Hermann, who played the patriarch of the family Richard Gilmore, passed away in December 2014, and so within the show, his family are now having to deal with their loss – as well wife Emily and daugher Lorelai finally attempting to come to terms with their fractious relationships which have never improved over time.

Rory meanwhile is feeling lost as her career in journalism has yet to take off, and she finds herself listless, crashing on friend’s couches and travelling the world.

How many episodes are there?

The revival is split into four 90-minute episodes, beginning with Winter, and moving through Spring, Summer, and Fall (following the lyrics from the theme song, Carole King’s Where You Lead.)

But is it any good?

Metro.co.uk have seen the first two episodes and we can confirm that watching Gilmore Girls nine years on feels exactly like coming home.

Lauren and Alexis Bledel have fallen straight back into the show’s fast-paced dialogue, riffing off each other and making as many pop culture references as they possibly can in the shortest amount of time.
